Something funny happened to the Golden Knights this season. Vegas started pretty slowly despite playing pretty well, and then quietly started to turn their strong play into tangible results. A team that turned the sports world upside down last season, is now flying under the radar in 2018-19. That’s how it feels, anyway.

The Knights are on a four-game winning streak, have collected at least a point in nine of their last 10 and are just two points behind the division-leading Calgary Flames.

While Vegas has seemed to find it’s groove, the Anaheim Ducks are still one of the most peculiar teams in the league. The Ducks allow the most xGA/60 and create the fourth-fewest xGF/60 while controlling just 46% of the shot share at even strength. Those numbers paint a bleak picture but Anaheim has John Gibson and he’s very good at stopping pucks from going in the net.

Not only has Gibson been the best goaltender in the league, he should be an honest contender for the Hart Trophy this season as the 25-year-old has kept the Ducks season afloat almost single-handedly.
